Below
is Action Item 3 and associated tasks from the strategy, Building Better
Buildings: A Blueprint for Sustainable State Facilities (Blueprint). The Blueprint contains a ten-point plan to
implement the Governor's sustainable building goal. Links to key deliverables are
provided, if available.
|
Action Item 3 |
Develop cost-effective building performance, operation, and
maintenance standards. |
Due Date |
|
3-1 |
Identify existing state
laws, regulations, and other policies that complement the Governor’s
sustainable building goals. Incorporate relevant elements into the
development of building performance, maintenance, and operating standards
for state-owned and leased facilities. For example, integrating current
recycled-content product procurement statutes, exceeding Title 24 energy
efficiency standards, establishing siting criteria, and incorporating
indoor environmental quality must be part of the standards. |
Annual updates each July |
|
3-2 |
Explore the development of a state “green power” policy, similar to
those enacted by the State of New York, City of Chicago, and the federal
government under Executive Order 13123. In exploring the development of
this policy, the Task Force should consider incorporating minimum levels
of on-site renewable power generation to satisfy specific electrical loads
(e.g., information technology and safety system), green power purchasing
agreements, and the use of specific green power technologies (e.g., fuel
cells and photovoltaics). |
July 2002 |
|
3-3 |
Draft and update building standards:
LEED™ supplement for California1,
maintenance and operating standards, and guidelines2
(Tier Checklist). |
Annual updates each May |
|
3-4 |
Review and update maintenance and operating standards. |
Annual updates each May |
|
3-5 |
Submit draft building standards and guidelines to the Department of
Finance for review. |
Annual updates each June |
|
3-6 |
Adopt approved standards and guidelines into the capital outlay process
and other relevant state programs (e.g., Golden Seal Program and state
leasing requirements). |
Annual updates each July |
Footnotes
- Develop performance standards using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design™ (LEED) 2.0, or other, as a framework. (Back)
- Guidelines include checklists (Tiers) that
the Department of General Services (DGS) is currently using, which shall
be updated at least annually. Other
guidelines include, but are not limited to: Department of Health Services' (DHS)
requirements for avoiding
possible health effects from electric and
magnetic fields in the design and construction of schools that are applicable to
any publicly-funded project, water-efficient
landscaping, and design for recycling space. Guidelines shall consider
building type, climate, length of occupancy, life cycle costing (see Action
Item 2), and similar requirements from other state programs.
